Hainan to Launch $145 Million Esports Fund

  • South China’s tropical Hainan will set up a 1 billion yuan ($145 million) fund to lure esports businesses to the province, as part of a broader package to support gaming in the region.

The money will be used to support “related companies” and subsidize global esports competitions held in the province, said Sun Ying, the director of Hainan’s tourism, culture, broadcasting and sports department. She also said the government would make it easier to get approval to hold such events.

Sun made the announcement at an esports industry forum held in the island’s Boao city on Thursday.

Sun said the government would also offer other incentives to the sector, such as tax breaks and benefits such as subsidized housing and residency status for star gamers.

The official also said the local administration planned to expand the province’s visa-free visit program —which currently applies to 59 nationalities — to include more countries in the future. Sun said this would make it easier for more people to participate in esports events in the process.

Hainan, known for its warm weather and sandy beaches, has long been heavily reliant on tourism.

However, the central government has plans to shake up the region’s economy, with the State Council announcing in October that the province would become China’s 12th pilot free trade zone. According to a policy guideline document (line in Chinese) released at the time, the Hainan zone will focus on the international tourism, modern service, and advanced technology industries.

In recent years the gaming industry has rapidly expanded as ever larger numbers of Chinese people have come online. The value of China’s esports market has more than tripled since 2015 and is expected to more than double from its 2018 level to 247.8 billion yuan by 2023.

Provinces including Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu have announced plans to build so-called “esports towns,” regions in which incentive policies much like Hainan’s — direct funding and tax breaks — have been promised.

However local governments’ enthusiasm for this growing sector could be met with roadblocks, as the central government has displayed an ambivalent attitude towards video gaming.

The central government department responsible for approving the release of games did not give the green light to any new titles for most of last year. Then, in April, it was revealed that thousands of titles that had already been waiting for approval — some for more than a year — would be forced to start the approval process all over again under new regulations.

In September last year, the General Administration of Press and Publications said it would control the total number of online video games and new titles in operation, ostensibly to address worsening eyesight among the country’s young people.

World electronic gaming revenues to grow 9.6% to $152.1 billion in 2019

  • Global video and electronic games market will generate $152.1 billion (£121 billion) in 2019, up 9.6% over last year as gaming morphs into content and communication, according to a report by gaming analytics firm Newzoo on Tuesday.
  • It is “the complete convergence of different forms of digital entertainment all coming together,” Peter Warman, chief executive of the Netherlands-based firm, told Reuters in a phone interview.

By Hilary Russ

NEWYORK (Reuters) – The global video and electronic games market will generate $152.1 billion (£121 billion) in 2019, up 9.6% over last year as gaming morphs into content and communication, according to a report by gaming analytics firm Newzoo on Tuesday.

It is “the complete convergence of different forms of digital entertainment all coming together,” Peter Warman, chief executive of the Netherlands-based firm, told Reuters in a phone interview.

As games become seemingly ubiquitous, they are turning into tools for connectivity, allowing players to chat with friends and meet new people. Fortnite publisher Epic Games Inc, in particular, believes in gaming as a communication platform, Warman said.

Facebook Inc is launching its own games through its Facebook, WhatsApp Inc and Messenger apps, as is Tencent Holding Ltd’s WeChat in China.

On June 5, Words With Friends developer Zynga Inc launched a new battle royale game exclusively on the new gaming platform of Snap Inc, home of messaging app Snapchat.

This year, the United States will overtake China for the largest gaming market by revenues – $36.9 billion versus $36.5 billion – due to growth in console games and the influence of Fortnite in America and the echo of a previous governmental freeze on new games in China.

“I believe it’s a temporary glitch,” said Warman of the Chinese market, because there are so many games in the pipeline awaiting approval.

Japanese companies are also making a comeback, in part because of nostalgia for retro games.

A revamp of Final Fantasy VII, originally released in 1997 by Japan’s Square Enix Holdings Co Ltd, is expected to be released next year, for example.

Nintendo Co Ltd and Bandai Namco Holdings Inc, developer of the classic Pac-Man games, are ranked 9th and 10th on Newzoo’s list of top public gaming companies by revenue.

“It’s taken a long time but they’re back,” Warman said, after some Japanese developers were slow to embrace mobile gaming and shift business models from paid games to free-to-play.

Mobile gaming on smartphones and tablets, versus PC and console games, remains the largest platform, producing $68.5 billion, or 45% of the global market, the report said.

Newzoo surveyed more than 62,500 invite-only respondents from February to March across 30 markets, among other data sources. It is the firm’s 9th such annual report.

The report excludes revenue from esports, or formalised professional video game competitions. Newzoo reported in February that global esports revenue would hit $1.1 billion this year.

Steve Maida, President of Luminosity commented, “Welcoming Formula, Kiwiz, Nicks, and Randumb to Luminosity adds another new and unique creative element to our growing franchise.

Dignitas is the esports organization of HBSE, a globally renowned sports and entertainment company whose portfolio includes the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils, Crystal Palace F.C. and the Prudential Center, one of the world’s top-ranked venues located in Newark, N.J.  HBSE is owned by an investor group led by Managing Partners Josh Harris, the Co-Founder and Senior Managing Director of Apollo Global Management, LLC., as well as, David Blitzer, the Global Head of Blackstone’s Tactical Opportunities group.

FIRST NORTH AMERICAN TIER-1 ESPORTS PARTNERSHIP FOR VIE.GG SETS NEW BENCHMARK

As a world champion and one of the original names in esports with a successful history since 2003, Dignitas represents the first North American Tier-1 esports organization to partner with the Company’s VIE.gg esports betting platform. Dignitas is working with VIE.gg for the following reasons:

1.  The VIE.gg P2P model is much more attractive to Dignitas because an esports fan (a Dignitas fan) always wins, as opposed to a “house” model where odds are heavily stacked against fans.

2.  VIE.gg is the first and most transparent esports bet exchange as a result of Esports Entertainment Group being a fully reporting SEC issuer in the United States. 

3.  Player safety features built into VIE.gg create a fun but responsible esports betting experience for fans. For example, players must choose their maximum bet amounts when they initially sign up with VIE.gg. Any subsequent increase to those levels requires a 30 day cooling off period to make sure players do not get carried away.

4.  The recent addition of pool betting is a further extension of the P2P model, which allows groups of opposing fans to wager against each other when their teams go head to head.

5.  Given the fact some esports fans bet on esports, Dignitas fans may as well bet on a safe platform that also supports the organization.

Dignitas CEO Michael Prindiville stated, “Esports Entertainment Group and Vie.gg offer a premier destination for our fans to engage with the games they love in ways that play upon a competitive spirit that is decidedly Dignitas in nature. The future of Dignitas is bound to our fans and the way they engage, interact, share and are moved by our content, products, players, streamers and more. The partnership with Esports Entertainment Group and Vie.gg is extremely natural; we are connected in our shared dedication to developing and amplifying the gaming space in this period of rapid and inspiring growth, and as it blends naturally with entertainment, music, lifestyle, and more.”

Grant Johnson, CEO of Esports Entertainment Group stated, “I am very proud of this new partnership with HBSE and their Dignitas esports brand, which is founded in our shared common beliefs of player safety above all else.  I look forward to sharing our incredible product with Dignitas’ highly engaged fan base over the next three years and beyond. For Esports Entertainment Group, a partnership of this calibre is a significant milestone for our shareholders and tremendous validation of both our P2P esports wagering model and future plans within the esports world.”

Milken-Backed Immortals Makes Esports’ First $100 Million Deal

By Christopher Palmeri

  • They acquired Infinite Esports from Texas Rangers co-owners
  • The resulting company becomes competitor in four major esports

Immortals Gaming Club, an esports business backed by Meg Whitman and the family of Michael Milken among others, acquired Infinite Esports from two of the owners of the Texas Rangers baseball team, marking what the buyers said is the industry’s first $100 million deal.

The transaction merges Los Angeles-based Immortals, best known for its Valiant team in the Overwatch League, with the parent of OpTic Gaming, one of the more prominent teams in the League of Legends Championship Series. Its fans are known as the Greenwall.

“We expect there’s going to be general consolidation in the industry,” Immortals Chief Executive Officer Ari Segal said an interview. “This is the first wave of that.” Milken-Backed Immortals CEO on Esports’ $100 Million Deal

The valuation includes the purchase price, debt and other liabilities, including franchise fees still owed to the leagues. The Immortals’ lineup of games will also include Call of Duty, which is launching a new league, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, meaning the company now competes in four major esports.

Based on the equity consideration in the transaction, Infinite stockholders collectively become the largest shareholder of Immortals Gaming Club, according to a spokesman, with AEG continuing to hold the biggest single stake. Neil Leibman and Ray Davis, co-owners of the Texas Rangers, will become shareholders in Immortals as part of the deal.

Growing Business

Esports, where fans watch professional video-game players compete online and in arenas, is among the fastest-growing businesses in entertainment, attracting big money investors from the world of media and sports. Last week, the owners of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils bought a majority stake in Clutch Gaming, a professional team owned by the Houston Rockets.

The deal marks a return to League of Legends competition for Immortals, which was co-founded in 2015 by Noah Whinston, a college dropout and esports enthusiast. Immortals operated a team, but failed to get a franchise in the League of Legends Championship Series when parent Riot Games offered them two years ago. They plan to sell the Houston Outlaws franchise in the Overwatch League.

Immortals raised $30 million in a follow-on offering last month. The overall business is now valued at $250 million, according to a person familiar with the terms who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly.

As Toronto Raptors surge in the NBA, their esports team gets major boost

The name Toronto Raptors rolls effortlessly off everyone’s lips these days. Their first-ever NBA Finals appearance has made the team a household name in Canada and the world over.

But if you were asked about Raptors Uprising, your most likely answer would be: “Who?” Or, “Raptors what?”

That is, if you’re not already an esports aficionado.

Who or what is Raptors Uprising?

Raptors Uprising is the Raptors’ esports team in the NBA 2K League — a professional competitive gaming league. Put simply, it’s playing the NBA via video game.

Sounds like fun? Sure. But it’s also serious business.

“We’re about hard work, coming in early, working late, day in and day out,” said Frederick Mendoza, one of the six members of the team.

And the money’s nothing to sneeze at either. For the 2019 season, teams are competing for $1.2 million in prize money across three tournaments and playoffs.

In addition to Mendoza, who hails from Arlington, Va., the Raptors Uprising roster includes Kenneth Hailey of Memphis, Tenn.; Gerald Knapp of Verona, N.J.; Georgio Bonte of Cambridge, Mass.; Seanquai Harris of Columbus, Ohio; and Joshua McKenna of Decatur, Ga. 

Aside from the prize money, they don’t get paid anywhere near the multi-million-dollar salaries of NBA players.

According to the NBA 2K League website, paycheques are modest.

“All players will be signed to a six-month contract, with first-round draft picks to be paid a base salary of $35,000 and all other players being paid a $32,000 base salary,” the website says. All those figures are in U.S. dollars.

Players can also sign endorsement deals to earn income in addition to their NBA 2K League compensation package, “subject to league guidelines,” NBA 2K says. 

And according to league rules, the players’ accommodations and travel expenses are paid for by the teams. There’s also paid medical insurance and even a retirement plan. 

“I really see it as a job. I just play the game and I get paid,” Bonte told CBC Toronto.

During the inaugural NBA 2K League draft in April 2018, the six players were recruited by the esports management team at Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE), the conglomerate that owns the Raptors, Maple Leafs and Toronto FC..

On completion of the draft, the six moved to Toronto to live and train in the state-of-the-art facility known as the Bell Fibe House.

As part of their weekly routine, the team watches film of previous games to review, analyze and strategize for upcoming games and tournaments. The team also goes through personal fitness training sessions twice a week at SWAT Health in Toronto.

That’s to ensure physical fitness levels are at their peak to match their mental preparation for games and tournaments.

The NBA 2K League is a joint venture between the NBA and Take-Two Interactive. The professional esports league features the best NBA 2K players in the world. It’s made up of 17 teams — each drafting six players to compete as unique characters in 5-on-5 play against the other teams in a mix of regular-season games, tournaments and playoffs.

The 2019 season began on Tuesday, April 2, and runs for 18 weeks, concluding on Saturday, Aug. 3 with the 2019 NBA 2K League Finals. All teams are operated by NBA franchises.

This week, the league will take THE TICKET tournament to Orlando as teams battle, not just for the big purse prize â€” $240,000 â€” but for an automatic spot in the 2019 NBA 2K League postseason.

Riding the wave of Raptors success

Meanwhile, as the season progresses, Harris says the Raptors Uprising team has been energized by the success of the Toronto Raptors in the NBA, and their dramatic entry into the finals.

“The energy is amazing here and we can translate that to 2K all the time,” Harris told CBC Toronto at Bell Fibe House.

“Right now, we’re trying to make this push, to use this energy from the Raptors and turn this around. I believe in my guys and I definitely believe something big is going to happen.”

The team members say more people have been tuning in to watch the NBA 2K League on TV sports channels and more and more fans are now recognizing them in public, requesting selfies, just showing them love, or inquiring about the league.

Harris started playing during junior high school with his best friend Joey.

“He lived right across the street so we used to go to his grandma’s house and play. I kept playing and eventually when I got to college . . . I got myself into the top ranking of players. So, we just kept working hard and here we are,” he told CBC Toronto.

At 29, Hailey is the oldest member of the team. Like his teammates, he started playing 2K video games at a young age.

“I grew up in a household where it was eight of us and we all used to play video games,” he explained.

“I used to want to be the best in the house so as we kept playing, I got better . . . then I got introduced online and I started playing more competitively.”

For Knapp, playing 2K video games was just a hobby. That’s until late 2017 when he played in a tournament and won.

The prize: a whopping $332,000.

“Everyone wanted to win that tournament. That was the main goal,” Knapp said.

“After that tournament a lot of people quit the game … until they announced the 2K League and that’s when everyone started to lock in. We were relentless, like, ‘We’re not stopping until we get in.'”

Esports revenues to surpass US$1 billion in 2020

Written by Jonathan Easton

  • The esports market is estimated to surpass US$1 billion (€890 million) by 2020, and onto US$1.8 billion (€1.6 billion) by 2023.

This is according to the latest “Esports Opportunity for the Broadcast, Pro-AV and IT Industries” study by Futuresource Consulting.

The report claims that key events will start to attract viewing figures comparable to ‘tier 1 sporting competitions’, such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. This will mean that securing exclusivity of major esports events will become strategically important for both traditional sports broadcasters and the largest esports streaming platforms.  

Revenues are expected to be in excess of $900 million (€799.2m) in 2019. In addition, an 18 per cent 2019-23 CAGR is also expected.

One contributing factor is the growth of collegiate esports, with many universities heavily investing in esports as a part of the curriculum and in their own arenas. With collegiate sports being such a profitable area of sports broadcasting, particularly in the US, esports has the possibility to benefit.

The report also argues that esports growth will serve as a boon to major IT and AV suppliers, with the global education esports PC installed base including universities, colleges and K-12 schools expected to reach 117,000 units in 2020.

In addition, major vendors are looking to become sponsors of key tournaments and are aiming to get on the most popular gamers’ equipment lists.
